I’m a big lad from Hampshire England, only 5’8 but 19st 8lbs. Very active all the same walking my Black a few hours a day. I’d just like to say Hiya and hope to make a few friends along the way on my weight loss journey.

Cheers

Hi The Big Dogg,

Have you started fasting yet? I’ve done 2 lots and it seems really good. I fasted Tues and Thurs. Wed I had a sandwich for lunch and roast pork for tea but till weighed in 3.5lbs lighter on Thurs!I do lots of exercise and only want to lose about a stone so hopefully this will work. What’s your aims?

Hi Alex, yeah I tinkered around for three weeks now, but this week was effectively my start point. I fasted back to back Tues and Weds as it suits me. I’ve yo yo’d since I stopped weight training and found the drink mid 20’s (42 now). Heaviest I’ve ever been at the min so looking to drop 4 stone really. I’m doing Low Carb diet along side the 5:2 and don’t find it too much of a struggle. I am fat but solid and walk around 3 miles most days with my Labrador which I really and enjoy and should help shift the pounds. Cutting the Real Ale back will be the big challenge for me….

All the best mate

Hi The Big Dogg,

Weird this fast thing. I’ve now eaten normally for 3 days and have another normal day tomorrow. When I say normal, it’s not excessive but I’ve had proper food – roast lamb, rice pudding, bottle of wine etc. Also done a fair bit of exercise. A couple of Body Pump classes and ran about 5 miles today. I don’t feel like I’m dieting at all. I shall weigh again on Tues morn…. next fast day. I wonder how much of the 3.5lbs down will be back on? I guess that’s the telling bit.

I wouldn’t like to be doing low carbs as well. I think I can only do fast days knowing that the next day I can have a bacon sandwich or similar!How much Ale will you have to cut back? Let the tinkering stop….you’re a young man at 42! I guess this diet/ eating plan will chip away at the 4 stone! Hope you had a good weekend.
